Speaking mode will be that of storytelling. No machine on Earth has a logic/algorithm that can generate prime numbers. But this autistic twin boys used to generate prime numbers using their super brain. How does this 1400 g jelly like thing (brain) does similar feats?

The neurobiology behind prime number processing will be decoded in simple manner without jargons. Savants (who can memorise an entire library/do mental maths that beats processing speeds of a computer/picture perfect memory/ ‘see’ sound, echo locate like bats. What is Pinocchio effect?

We will dive into the stories of brain science that revealed strange skills and the science behind. Synesthesia phenomenon will be decoded. Watch out for this part. With this background, I will reveal the batman side of Rubik’s cube that nobody told you!

What poor and mentally challenged kids taught me? A 10 minute walk through some real stories.

The entire session will be a common man’s attempt to understand the most amazing mass of cells evolution have given us.
